A message from the Yemeni people to the Saudi tyrant


By Rasha Almaqaleh




Peace be with us! 
We decidedly say
Peace be upon us 
till the judgment day
It shall be on our side.
 On yours, why shall it be?
‘No’ peace be with you! 
Shame let it be!
With wolves and serpents 
you seek an alliance
You brazenly free them 
to rack our spirit of defiance
Lying on your feather bed or luxurious chair
You send infernal birds to murder and scare   In the heart of our cities
 they set wildfires
They burn our souls 
to calm your desires
When mortal words speak
louder than dreamy actions
We gravely picture our children’s options;  
Waiting in their miserable shed
 to become orphans or to be dead 
Whatsoever you say, 
Whatsoever you do,
At the end of our day,
Peace be with us
‘Sorrow’ be with you!




Your red hands will shrivel
Your Monsters will hide
The dark will fade
We will live with pride
We promise to rise
and break the chain
To expel the grief
and your bloody stain 
Peace be upon us!
Shame on you again!
And again,
And again!

Amazing Lies!!


By Rasha 




When I look back at the following funny words which I wrote when I was a teenager, I come to know that things aren’t getting any better! They are getting worse!



When the sky becomes the ground
And Earth is no longer round!

Night is day and day is night
The sun is running out of light

Welcome to our nice planet!
Words are cheating so you should can it!

Watch your mouth when something wrong
“It's not my business.”  That's your song

Keep yourself close to tears
‘Peace’ is coming with all its fears

White is turning into black
Open your eyes and watch your back

Dogs fall in love with cats
Tigers are afraid of rats

All birds now hate to fly
The sky is no longer high

North and South are one small side
"West" is always there to guide

Facts are just amazing lies
And the truth comes at price

That's the secret of our planet

Save your breath or put a lid on it!
